Go ahead, tether me baby (on the G1)


It sounds dirty, I know but it’s really not — It’s amazingly dirty and helpful at the same time.

Graham Stewart over at Graha.ms designed the first “tether” app for the G1 and the Android OS.  Better than that, it’s cross-platform compatible so Windows lovers, Mac heads and Linux gurus can all browse the web through their phones.

I say “tether” because it uses SOCKS proxying right now but I’m sure he won’t let us down and he’ll set it up for a full NAT app that allows all applications to use it to get out to that vast world wide web.

I don’t want to re-post his directions because when he goes ahead and makes the application even better, I’d have to update this blog (and we all know how consistently I do that) but shoot over to his page, download the app and let me know how it works for you.

Note: One thing to do in Firefox — Enable SOCKS DNS look ups by typing about:config into your address bar and changing network.proxy.socks_remote_dns to TRUE by right clicking and choosing Toggle.  You should be all set.  Enjoy!

    I'm unable to run the adb folder. Can anyone walk me through it?

    You have to run Command Prompt and run CD (type the exact path your adb.exe file is located)

    I'm also having problem running the adb folder. I get this warning when trying to launch….

    The jar file "android.jar" couldn't be launched. Check the Console for possible error messages

    Am I doing something wrong? please help?

    Make sure you are running the current Android SDK and what development environment are you using? – I suggest running Eclipse.
